<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USS656, post: 204320, member: 6641&quot;]hamman88, collecting for seven years does not mean that you have been studying the field of numeristics for that long.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve been collecting coins for 20 some odd years, but I know comparatively nothing about coins.&nbsp; It&#039;s not a bad thing and I readily admit I need help.&nbsp; I did not buy my first educational book until recently and I have barely scratched the surface (sorry for the pun) on what&#039;s in it.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Some of these guys know coins like a PHD in math knows calculus.&nbsp; I have to give them the respect they deserve.&nbsp; They take time out of their lives to try and help the rest of us.&nbsp; For that I am very thankful.&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t think it was meant as an insult when indianhead said beginner, I just believe that it&#039;s frustrating to see coins damaged.&nbsp; It would be like watching your best friend fail a test when you know he didn&#039;t study.&nbsp; These guys just want to help and are frustrated when it does not work out.&nbsp; No one is out to insult or patronize you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
